Measurable Outcome(s)

The original measurable outcome was completing the inventory of objects on the first floor in the museum's Glen Warehouse, located on MDC's property. This outcome was achieved and we now have a complete inventory of all 3D objects for the first time in our institution's history. The total number of objects inventoried was less than estimated at a total of 1,482 objects.

We achieved these results by adhering to the formula presented in the original grant proposal. Mr. Clarke and Ms. Aubin spent an average of 30 minutes per object. Attached are sample inventory sheets as well as PastPerfect records indicating home location.
